    They have a tan one now like my black one.
    Before you became a civilian you knew a lot about the people that love you. You cared.

    I had a 25% off coupon when I bought mine. It's a freaking beast and with the proper amount of silicone under the fender washers/nuts it's completely leak free even while pressure washing.

    Seb knows. :fistbump:

    The HF will hold a lot of shit! You're only going to need one.

    Only have room for one. But the thing is, not sure if I have room for 50".. Access Cab problems. A 42" or a 36" would be best

    Maybe do a search for shotgun or carbine cases. Shotguns break down and carbines are much shorter rifles.

    you think tucking my controller out of sight would be a bad thing. Might not be able to see if its working but all the places i can easily mount it without it being hit by gear are out of sight.

    What's the advantage of a higher wattage controller? This one is 30w. I see some are only 10w.

    Based on the area you live in, you might be able to find a Pelican 1700 or 1720 on Craigslist that'd fit the job perfect. Might be a little rough around the edges, but there may be one floating around.

    A higher amp controller can handle more volts coming in from the panel, the higher the amperage the more panels you could run essentially. I'm no expert in solar so dont quote me here im going off of what I roughly understand as of now. Essentially you'd want to match or have a higher value for the amperage of the controller to the amperage that your solar panel is putting out. The panel I'm going with outputs a max current of 6.47A so my 30A controller could handle three of them if I wanted to that's rounding the 6.47A all to ten I wouldnt want to risk running 4.

    Makes sense, thank you very much. I ultimately want to mount the solar panel on the roof of the cap. I have to be very careful how much height I add to the truck overall because I park in a garage in the city and have no other option.
